ROAD CLOSURE ACROSS BEAVER DAM EXTENDED Rogers, Ark. – Work on Beaver Dam in Carroll County is expected to extend until early November. A section of Arkansas Hwy 187 that crosses the dam will be closed for a longer period than first expected so crews can continue the installation of a hydropower head gate in to the dam.
The Dam Site Peninsula Area, also called Dam Site Cutoff Wall, will also remain closed due to the area being used for staging equipment and materials needed for the project so the area is not able to accommodate the traffic from Highway 187. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The closure is being coordinated with emergency services and law enforcement agencies. If traveling in the area, please plan alternate routes and allow extra time to reach your destinations.
The recommended alternate route for travelers is Highway 62. Traffic will be controlled with signs and traffic cones until the bridge opens back up in early November. If you have any questions about this or general questions about Beaver Lake, please call the Beaver Lake Project Office at 479-636-1210.Erin Jimenez

As many that know me three years ago I had back surgery. I was not happy with the outcome as it left me with a weaken spine. Before the surgery I was walking 2-3 miles a day with a friend. I am gradually becoming shorter, 1.5 inches to date. I am a volunteer with the Methodist Church Harvest Garden group. I cannot get around very well because of the uneven ground. I would like to participate more fully in chores like watering the garden and weeding. I need to develop my strength and walking is the best way for the spinal issues I have developed.

Recently I met a woman who was walking very quickly to her car using an device called an UPWALKER. The walker had a place for her to put her computer/tools/books and all she had to do was push it. The real insight was she was standing almost straight up right. The lightweight pedestal/chair was really different from other walkers. Those put a hump in your back to push them forward. With staples in my spine, I need to stand up and encourage my muscles to strengthen and carry me forward. This is a plea for any one that has used one or would like to sell, or give one up. please contact me at 417-342-4599- Paula Andersen.
